The actress - who plays fashion-conscious Carrie Bradshaw in the big-screen version of the TV series - donned a black armband and wore a stunning strapless dress, which she teamed with shoes and a clutch bag, which were all from the tragic designer's collection.

She said of her choice: "There's only person I could have worn tonight and that was Alexander McQueen."

She also wore a Philip Treacy 'Cloud' hat, which was covered with Swarovski crystals.

McQueen committed suicide in February and the 45-year-old star has since spoken about her admiration for him.

Of his creations, she said: "Every single inspired, original, lofty, whimsical, stunning, brilliant and jaw dropping detail was Alexander McQueen."
